Deirdre was once a well-known beauty in the region. Many young men had been paying her attention, waiting for the opportunity to ask her hand in marriage as soon as she became an adult. However, who would have thought that…
Tears welled up in her eyes as Madam Russel thought of it. She turned on the TV and said, “Deirdre, watch it a little while to relieve boredom while I take out dishes from the kitchen.”
“Okay.”
Deirdre fumbled and sat on the sofa. Watching TV series was a good way to spend time. While she listened to the drama, she combed her hair.
The entertainment news followed the TV series. The news presenter said, “Mr. Brendan Brighthall, the CEO of the Brighthall Group, has recently announced that he will be engaged to Miss Charlize McKinley, with whom he has been in love for many years, on the evening of the 28th. For this reason, he booked the largest resort in Neve, the Oceanside Resort. It seems that he has found the love of his life. Let us wait for the wonderful evening on the 28th with blessings.”
Madam Russel also heard the news when she brought in the soup. She said with surprise, “The CEO of the Brighthall Group is getting married again? Hasn’t his wife been in prison for two years?”
Only then did Deirdre resume combing her hair. She replied, “I don’t know.”
Madam Russel continued muttering, “Charlize McKinley? Why does the name sound so familiar? Oh yes, it’s quite similar to Mr. Brighthall’s former wife, who’s been jailed.”
It was normal that Madam Russel had such a question because Charlize McKinley was Charlene McKinney’s pseudonym.
And they were getting engaged in such a short period because they thought Deirdre had ‘died,’ right? As such, her marriage with Brendan was no longer valid.
Deirdre inexplicably recalled a man she had met the night she left the police station.
He had told her that he was willing to help Deirdre escape, and she would never be found by Brendan as long as she listened to him.
Deirdre refused at the beginning because it was difficult for her to trust a stranger. After all, she might be in danger if the man plotted against her.
